Trump and Putin to discuss Ukraine in historic Alaska meeting
US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are coming face-to-face for the first time since 2019 as they meet at a historic summit in Alaska. The leaders are set to discuss Ukraine and President Trump is approaching the meeting quietly confident that his Russian counterpart is now ready to 'make a deal' when it comes to ending the war. He said on Thursday that his eye is on 'getting peace fast,' and that he'll be poised to call Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy - who was not invited to Alaska - to join them should the discussions with Putin go to plan. The much-anticipated meeting is expected to be a dramatic one with a US official saying 'all options remain on the table,' including the possibility that President Trump walks out if Putin isn't serious about making a deal. The summit is Putin's first time on US soil since 2015 when he attended the United Nation's General Assembly in New York.
